1. Any degree will put you above those applying without a degree. Most departments like a degree in Psychology or criminal justice but your degree is pretty close. Having a knowledge of the workings of community resources would be very helpful to a law enforcement officer. If you're good at working with people and also have knowledge of what to do with say a mentally ill individual this knowledge could prove very valuable. Particularly if nobody else knows what do to with someone. I think your degree will serve you well in a law enforcement career. Sorry, I thought u said you had a four-year degree. Your certificate will certainly help and many departments don't require any thing more than a high school education. You can then work on your degree while working as a police officer.
2. Doesn't matter either way...Go sign up for your police academy
3. I dunno, but if you want to pursue law enforcement, you need a criminal justice degree or at least some college hours. In every big city, there should be police training courses available to take at your local college.
4. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE A COP IT TURNS YOU IN TO A BAD PERSON REALLY MESS YOU UP GO TO LAW SCHOOL AND BE COME A DEFENCE ATTORNEY AND HELP CORRECT INJUSTICE
